Deep Space Fleet

In the central control room, the atmosphere was oppressive.

Captain Zhao and his team were nervous, and they were closely monitoring the movement of the high-dimensional fragment. Since the moment this thing appeared, this group of people felt like a big rock was pressing on their hearts, and they never had a good night's sleep.

Various instruments were scanning remotely over and over again, for fear that its opening mechanism would be triggered suddenly at some point.

But everyone is vaguely looking forward to its trigger.

In just half a day, a temporary high-explosive bomb has been installed near the high-dimensional debris. For so many scientists, building a high-explosive bomb from existing materials was a no-brainer.

However, Zhao Qingfeng, the captain at the time, still felt headaches one after another, without any sense of security.

The main reason is that human beings' armed forces are really insufficient.

After searching the entire cabin, they could only find such a remote-controlled bomb, plus a few mechanical rifles, and then there was nothing else.

Nuke? impossible……

The armed forces of a high-explosive bomb can't bring any sense of security at all.

It's not that he, Zhao Qingfeng, is as timid as a mouse, but -- if he really encounters some aliens or strange life forms, human beings have no room to fight back.

But there is no way. When the Earth Age set off, it didn't carry too many weapons. On the one hand, there was no way to maintain these delicate weapons. On the other hand, there was no tonnage to carry these things. After thousands of years, a nuclear bomb has a 99.99% probability of failure, and even a safety breach is possible, so it is simply not carried.

Now comes the retribution.

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head to calm himself down.

According to the speculation of scientists, the purpose of this high-dimensional fragment may be as follows.

First, for experimental purposes, it is not necessarily a real high-dimensional space, but an experimental product used to simulate various properties of high-dimensional space.

In this case, humans are the safest. Since the experimental product has been destroyed by a supernova, it is impossible for aliens to come to the door and ask humans for things. Just feel free to explore boldly.

Second, it is a container for certain substances!

A high-dimensional space can theoretically carry almost unlimited three-dimensional matter, such as energy and resources.

In this case, human beings have made a lot of money, and maybe they can get more valuable things from it!

The third conjecture is also the most outrageous, but it is what people are most worried about - the interstellar portal!

"Think about it, does an advanced civilization not know that this supernova is about to explode? Even we know this fact!"

A middle-aged scientist argued with red ears and thick neck, "Are they stupid enough to let a supernova destroy their device?"

"Will not!"

"So...they did it on purpose!"

"Because this is an interstellar portal. Broken high-dimensional fragments can be scattered all over the galaxy through this supernova explosion. With these fragments, a super civilization can easily travel to all parts of the galaxy."

"We have to prevent this..."

Captain Zhao couldn't help but patted his aching head. Isn't this group of people's brains a little too big?

But it sounds like it makes sense.

One is the possibility of soaring into the sky, and the other is the crisis of being hanged by aliens and destroying all human beings.

Even though this issue has been discussed in the meeting and voted to pass, various debates are still going on.

As a leader, Zhao Qingfeng instinctively wanted to throw this fragment out, but he was reluctant, and a large group of scientists violently opposed it. So after working for a long time, I can only tie a bomb. If something really happens, just blow it up...

"Okay, okay, stop arguing!"

"Since the meeting voted to keep it for experimentation, let's keep it for now!"

"Could it be that the result of the vote can be changed at will?"

Captain Zhao patted the table heavily, time had left majesty on his face, he was no longer the young man he was back then.

These noisy scientists finally left sadly.

After a while, another report appeared on the computer screen. Zhao Qingfeng took a quick look, and the preliminary research results came out. This high-dimensional fragment turned out to be composed of an unstable subatomic substance! The temperature on its surface is already below absolute zero!

After reading the above text carefully, Zhao Qingfeng saw the veins on his forehead twitching, and took a few deep breaths.

As a senior intellectual, he certainly knew what this meant.

It's just... too unbelievable!

Below absolute zero, it means that the vacuum zero-point energy in that area has been extracted in large quantities!

Boom, boom, the door of the office rang a few times, and a very familiar person walked in.

Zhao Qingfeng's tone slowed down slightly, and he felt a sense of security in his heart, "Zhang Yuan, is your leg okay?"

"Yeah, thanks to those biologists. How is the research on high-dimensional fragments going?"

"You read this report first."

Zhang Yuan took a closer look, but also frowned, without saying a word.

This exotic subatom has an extremely small mass. The generated gravitational field can act on electromagnetic waves and change the orbit of electromagnetic waves, which should be regarded as a kind of dark matter in essence. This electromagnetic effect is much smaller than that of normal matter.

Second, the subatomic multi-dimensional momentum is smaller than the known atoms, and the existence temperature is lower than the absolute zero, so the whole body seems to be fixed, and it is to form a broken glass slag.

"Theoretically, there is no way for subatoms to exist stably in space, and they will disintegrate in just a moment. But now, because the temperature of space is below absolute zero, it seems to be frozen...in fact, it cannot be said to be solidified, but In a very queer state..."

Zhang Yuan frowned: "That is to say, as long as a large amount of energy is provided to get it out of this state, these sub-atoms will be decomposed, and the warping point behind will be exposed?"

Senior Brother Zhao said: "Yes, theoretically, the probability of this situation is extremely high!"

"After a period of time, the weird matter will automatically recover and seal off the existence of this high-dimensional space. The reason behind it, we don't know why... It's just that this method of blocking high-dimensional space is indeed very clever."

Zhang Yuandao: "Now I am more interested in this subatomic solidification technology... Its hardness is higher than that of diamond, and the strength of the material completely exceeds the scope of intermolecular forces... Is it a strong interaction?"

"Probably not. We don't even have a theoretical basis."

There was silence in the conference room for a while.

What is the difference between what "subatomic" is discussed here, and what is the difference between buying a box and returning a pearl?

Now that the high-dimensional debris can be reactivated under the action of a large amount of energy, the second exploration operation can already be prepared.

However, a question looms, who will be sent in? If you are not careful, you will die.

When the robot goes in, it never returns, and there is no way to deliver any effective information.

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and took the initiative to say: "It's really not possible, let me go in and have a look. As long as you are fully prepared, it is not difficult to escape again. It's a familiarity once..."

Senior Brother Zhao said anxiously, "Do you want to add one more person?"

"No need, one person is enough. The mass distribution of two people is different, so it is troublesome to calculate."
